Zongman, you don't follow the rules at all, right?

Everyone was stunned and looked at Bronya, waiting for her next words.

Bronya didn't keep the secret and continued to explain, "Although Sister Haitoki didn't explain it to Bronya in detail, she did say that this world is being targeted by another external force, and that force is composed of various demons and monsters."

"Sister Huitoki even used a term to describe this situation: 'mysterious invasion'."

Bronya said.

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment. Then Theresa stamped her foot and said dissatisfiedly: "That guy Huishi always hides all kinds of information and doesn't tell us. It's really a headache!"

"Right now, our communication equipment can't contact the outside world, and we can't contact Huishi at all. Bronya, I remember you have a special method to contact Huishi. Can you contact Huishi now?"

Ji Zi didn't complain, but asked instead.

Bronya shook her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Jizi, Bronya can't contact Sister Huitoki."

"Rather than contacting Hui Shi, we should be thinking about how to deal with the monster that attacked Saint Freya and took control of my daughter."

Siegfried interrupted their conversation and said with an anxious and worried look.

"Mr. Siegfried, we've fought that monster before, and you know how powerful it is. Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it's also holding your daughter, Mei Raiden, Fu Hua, and a bunch of other students hostage and puppets, making us wary of the consequences."

Ji Zi paused, frowned, and continued, "We can't act rashly before we find a suitable solution."

"I know!"

Sora waved his fist, and Siegfried said unhappily, "But Kiana's emotions have just gradually stabilized, and now she's being controlled by that ghost again. I'm worried that if we continue like this, something big will happen!"

"You saw it, didn't you? The monster's power isn't just to control people; it also draws out the fear and desires in them. Do you know who I saw when I first laid eyes on that monster?"

Siegfried said with a frown.

Everyone looked at him, and Theresa asked, "Who?"

Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, Siegfried said, "I saw...Cecilia."

“?!”×N.

After the words fell, everyone showed a look of shock, but soon they came to their senses. Theresa said: "Actually, I also saw Cecilia and Grandpa."

"To be honest, I also saw some people who were already dead."

Jizi covered her forehead and continued unhappily: "The power of this ghost is really unpleasant."

"so!"

Siegfried waved his hand and said seriously, "Since we know that the power of that ghost can draw out our inner memories and impersonate those important people in our hearts to influence and interfere with us, then Kiana is in a very sensitive period. Wouldn't that be like adding fuel to the fire? We must rescue Kiana quickly."

"And it's not just Kiana. Mei Raiden is also like this. She's the Third Herrscher and is also in a sensitive period, having just resolved her Herrscher consciousness issues. So..."

"Siegfried!"

Theresa interrupted Siegfried with a scolding, saying, "We all know what you said. Also, calm down. If we all panic, what will happen to the students who are with us?"

After he finished speaking, Siegfried glanced at the other Valkyrie students gathered in groups of three or four. When he saw the fear and worry in their eyes, Siegfried was startled. Then he reacted and said, "Sorry, I got excited."

"Everyone, Bronya might have a solution. Seele is also controlled by that monster. Bronya is going to save Seele."

At this time, Bronya spoke.

Everyone turned to look at Theresa, who asked, "Bronya, I know you're worried, and so are we. If you truly have a solution, that would be great, but if it's just some half-baked idea you came up with in a hurry, then it's best not to share it."

"That's not the case, Principal. Although I can't explain the details, Bronya really has a solution."

Bronya said seriously.

At this moment, in front of Bronya's eyes, there was a screen flashing that only Bronya could see. It was the shopping mall interface of the chat group, on which were displayed various props that Bronya had searched for using the keyword "ghost".

[Ghost-Slaying Sword]: As the name suggests, it is a long sword that has the effect of killing ghosts; this sword has great killing power against ghosts, but to humans, it is just a sharper long sword.

【Five Elements Talisman】: Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements are all in order.

……

The dazzling product catalog made Bronya even more grateful that she had joined the chat group. She also happened to have a huge sum of 50,000 points due to the completion of the previous task.

It can come in handy right now.

Chapter 162 Shadow Bound Weirdness (Part )

Just when the whole world was in dire straits due to the strange invasion.

Above the ghost town, the space suddenly fluctuated, then twisted, shook, and vibrated.

The next moment, there was a strange "hum" sound, and the space area where the change occurred suddenly expanded, and several figures appeared out of thin air.

These figures are Hui Shi and others who entered the ghost town to explore.

"what!"

After Huishi and others suddenly appeared, Huishi took a deep breath, as if she had been holding her breath for a long time, then raised her hand and waved, summoning a breeze to blow, gently dragging Rita and others who appeared with her.

The next moment, Hui Shi landed with Rita and the others. After taking another deep breath, Hui Shi sat down and said, "Huh! We're out! Damn it! Don't let me know who set up this trap. I promise to make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

After venting his anger, Huishi turned to look at Rita and others.

Their condition was not good. All of them were in a coma and their life breath was weak. If Hui Shi had not used the Word Spirit to keep them alive the whole time, they would have died long ago.

Now that he had successfully escaped from the alien space, Huishi raised his hand and threw a healing word to Rita and the others. After making sure they wouldn't die suddenly, he began to sort out the situation.

Although he was ambushed and thrown into another space.

But Huishi didn't just wait to die.

Not only did he lead Rita and the others to find a way to leave, he also continued to capture various ghosts and extract information from them.

Because of this sudden attack, Hui Shi no longer took his time. He immediately sped up his movements, activated his divine feet ability, and ran through the entire ghost town in a short period of time. He found all the powerful ghosts in the ghost town and began to torture them.

If it hadn't taken so much time to pry open the mouths of those ghosts, Huishi should have been able to escape earlier.

Although it took a lot of time, fortunately, Huishi also obtained a lot of information.

The biggest gain was knowing that the ghost town was not a stronghold established by the mysterious invading vanguard army, but a trap!

The real vanguard army had arrived in this world several years ago and successfully lay in hiding. This time, they were more here to confirm whether the various intelligence collected by the vanguard army was true, and to prepare for the official invasion that was about to come.

Take this ghost town trap for example.

Its function is to attract the attention of the human world, and make powerful human organizations and individuals focus their attention on this ghost town. Then, as many people as possible will be tricked in. When the ghost in charge of setting the trap feels that the time is right, he will "close the net" and completely kill all the humans who enter the ghost town!

Originally, the "closing the net" indicator had not been met, but because of my appearance, the person in charge changed his mind.

Hui Shi also guessed that there must be a responsible leader among the invading ghosts, but he didn't expect that it had noticed him so early.

Why? How did you get noticed?

Although Huishi did not try to hide his identity as a person from another world, people who knew his identity would not spread it around casually. Huishi also paid attention to whether there were ghosts around him.

The only reason Hui Shi could think of was the haunted paradise.

Infinite flow spaces like the Samsara Space usually mark their members. Will the Ghost Paradise also mark its members?

It is very likely, or even possible to say, definitely marked.

After pondering for a moment, Huishi gave up thinking further and decided to wait until he caught the relevant personnel before confirming this guess.

just now……

Unleashing her senses, Hui Shi instantly grasped the general situation of the collapsed world. She grinned and said, "I thought the ghosts were just lying in wait, waiting for their turn, but I didn't expect them to have already prepared their ignition devices and be ready to fire at any moment."

"Now that I, this 'special' exception, have fallen into a trap, they no longer hesitate and launch the first step of their attack. The darkness in the sky is becoming increasingly darker. I'm afraid it won't be long before the true main force of the strange organization invading this world will arrive. We must solve this problem before then!"

"But I'm not a savior. First, I have to save the people I care about."

Thinking of this, Huishi raised his hand to summon the breeze again, using it to hold and wrap Rita and others. Then he activated his divine feet, kicked into the sky, swept through space, and ran towards the distance.

-

The perspective switches and we arrive at St. Freya Academy.

A powerful monster with very strange abilities occupies the office building of St. Freya Academy.

Siegfried and others have experienced its capabilities and have guessed that they are almost right.

It is a monster called "Shadow Binding". At first glance, it looks like a group of shadows gathered together, invisible and formless. It has no fixed appearance and will change according to the inner thoughts of others.

It will draw out people's deepest fears and desires, and make targeted changes to them, just like Siegfried said he saw Cecilia. If Siegfried continues to look at Shadow Bind, the "Cecilia" in Siegfried's eyes will come closer, or gently comfort it, making it let go of its responsibilities, let go of everything, and be with "her" forever.

Or a harsh rebuke, asking why Siegfried hadn't protected her? Why hadn't he protected Kiana? Why had he adopted the Second Herrscher's body?

In short, no matter whether it is gentle or harsh, or any other means, as long as it can affect the hearts of others, make them lost and sink.

Then, Shadow Bind will do whatever it takes.

Under this ability, although Siegfried and his companions managed to escape, Kiana, Mei Raiden, Seele, Fu Hua and others were all affected and transformed into his puppets and thugs, obeying his orders.

While they are being controlled, Kiana and others' true self-awareness may be deep in their consciousness, being endlessly tortured by the power of Shadow Binding.

Kiana will repeat the scene of hearing the truth countless times, and then everyone who is related to the truth will come out to accuse her.

Mei Raiden will once again find herself alone in an environment filled with malice and slander, isolated and helpless.

The same was true for Xier, Fu Hua, and the other Valkyrie students who were controlled.

They will suffer from unforgettable mental damage forever under the power of Shadow Binding.

Can they hold on in that situation?

Most likely not, right? The most likely scenario is that at some point, I can no longer hold on, and then my spirit collapses, I sink into despair, I get lost, and my consciousness dies.

At that time, they will completely become shadow-bound puppets.

Or rather... a ghost.

……

At a corner, Bronya and Himeko cautiously poked their heads out to observe the movements of Shadow Binding not far away, as well as the movements of Kiana and other people controlled by it.

"Very good, the other party didn't take any action, so there's a chance."

Bronya retracted her gaze, pulled out a talisman from her pocket, and continued, "Teacher Jizi, once the principal and Uncle Siegfried are in place, we will proceed according to the plan. We must seize the opportunity to apply this 'Clearing Spell' to Kiana and the others' foreheads."

"..."

Ji Zi also took out a talisman from her pocket and raised her eyebrows and said, "Bronya, this thing, is it really useful? By the way, where did you get these things from?"

"Teacher Himeko, Bronya can't explain the reason for now. At least, until we can get in touch with Sister Haitoki, Bronya can't explain the source of these things. But Teacher Himeko, please rest assured, these things are definitely useful."

Bronya said seriously.

After another moment of silence, Ji Zi nodded and said, "Alright, I'll trust my students. I hope this operation will be successful. What Siegfried said is also true. Let's not talk about the others for now. Kiana and Mei are in a very bad situation. Being controlled by a monster that can manipulate people's minds, who knows what will happen to them."

“We have to act.”

"Well, we..."

However! Suddenly, a strange noise was heard, interrupting their conversation.

"No! No! Don't! I'm not! I didn't!!!"

"I! I didn't mean to steal your name, I just... I... Aaaaaah!!!"

Bronya and Himeko were slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that the voice was Kiana!

Then the two of them immediately stuck their heads out along the wall again and looked towards where Yingfu was.

Kiana, who had empty eyes and stood there motionless like a robot just now, suddenly knelt down, hugged her arms with trembling hands, tears kept flowing from her eyes, and her mental state was very unstable.

At the same time, the two quickly determined what Kiana was currently suffering from her intermittent words.

In a level they couldn't see, the "real" Kiana was questioning her.

In addition, there should be the imaginary Siegfried and Cecilia, as well as many, many people questioning her, asking her why she pretended to be Kiana?

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a strange noise was heard.

This was not from Kiana, nor was it from Shadow Binding, but from another direction.

That was exactly where Theresa and Siegfried needed to go.

There was no need to confirm, it was obvious that the strange noise just now was made by Siegfried. Kiana's sudden and drastic mental change could not but make the old father heartbroken and angry.

But he didn't rush out, probably because Theresa pulled him away.
